Rangers played in the Europa League final last season but failed this European campaign - 5 defeats in 5 matches, the 1:19 goal difference. The team can get into the Europa League playoffs only if they beat Ajax today by at least 5 goals, so there is no chance.
Ajax missed their chances for the Champions League after losing to Liverpool, but we cannot say Ajax looked bad in recent games with Liverpool and Napoli. Ajax lost heavily, but only because they are used to playing high and open football, so of course, the Scousers and the Neapolitans scored a bunch of goals against them on the counterattacks.
Rangers don't know how to play like that; the Scots play exclusively defensively in the Champions League, hoping only for set pieces. Of course, Rangers do not want to leave European competition without points, but this is most likely to happen, since the club is clearly not up to the level of Ajax.
Our prediction: Ajax to win. We recommend the “2 Win” bet, odds 1.91
